Sakurai's Object has entered a new stage of its evolution with the "born again" star shedding material in a powerful stellar wind extending over a region similar in size to our solar system.

Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros. and Kirby, is warning that AI could lead to a flood of unoriginal games. Sakurai points out that Steam has gone from around 275 game releases a year in 2010 to more than 19,000 today “AI can create games, but it can’t create something truly original.” Sakurai also argues that originality means creating something players don’t even know they want yet. He uses Fumito Ueda as an example, saying AI could imitate the style of games like ICO or Shadow of the Colossus, but it wouldn’t know what Ueda himself would create next.

Street Fighter film director Kitao Sakurai has confirmed that he's already laying the groundwork for a sequel, but whether or not it gets made will depend on the first movie's performance in theaters when it releases October 16.
